Travelmatters mitigating climate change with sustainable surface transportation

This report begins with a review of Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Project H-21, "Combating Global Warming with Sustainable Surface Transportation Policy," and a summary of the extension project, H-21A, including its three tasks to: create a criteria pollutant emissions calculator for transit fleets; develop an "Emissions Avoided Module" for trip planning websites; and create a learning center for youth and educators. The three tasks have been incorporated as a complete on-line product; this product is available for interactive use at www.TravelMatters.org. The approach and methodology related to each task is fully described. The report concludes with research recommendations to further assist transit agencies seeking to reduce climate change emissions. The appendices at the end of the report provide additional information on each task, including screenshots of various components of the TravelMatters website.

  • "The report and the TravelMatters website (developed as part of this project) are designed to present information on climate change and to examine how greenhouse gas emissions from transportation may be reduced. Both the print and web-based research products review the capacity of public transportation to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and present this information in a format accessible to transportation professionals and the general public. Key strategies for reducing transportation emissions--increasing the use of transit, changing land-use patterns, and adopting energy-efficient technologies and fuels in transit fleets--are discussed."@en
